Chapter 83
As Jasmine leaned in to kiss Alex, the sudden roar of helicopter blades filled the air.
Powerful gusts whipped her hair around her face, forcing her to shield her eyes.
The helicopter descended with expert precision, hovering just a few meters above the ground, its downdraft sending debris swirling across the street.
Reacting swiftly, Alex scooped Jasmine into his armis and sprinted toward the aircraft.
With a fluid leap, he boarded the helicopter, holding her securely against him.
“Continue to the destination!” Alex shouted over the deafening noise.
“Understood, sir!the pilot responded, steadying the aircraft as it began to ascend.
The forceful winds sent nearby pedestrians scrambling, and Kingston’s guards could only watch helplessly as the helicopter rose swiftly out of reach.
Inside, Alex gently laid Jasmine on a seat.
Her breaths came in shallow gasps, her complexion radiating desire.
Without hesitation, he placed his hands on her shoulders, channeling a calming warmth into her.
She stirred slightly, her tense features softening. His technique dulled the effects of the poison coursing through her veins, buying her precious time.
Pulling out his phone, Alex dialed Alfred Kingston.
“Yes, Master Alex?” came Alfred’s calm yet alert voice.
“I have Jasmine. Someone poisoned her, and I’m bringing her to the Golden Mansion. I can’t trust anyone else right now.”
There was a brief pause before Alfred replied, his voice laced with barely restrained anger at the thought of someone daring to harm his daughter.
“Thank you, Mr. Alex. Once again, we’re indebted to you. Please, keep her safe.”
“She’ll be fine. I promise.”
Minutes later, the helicopter touched down on the sprawling garden helipad of the Golden Mansion.
Alex carried Jasmine into a luxurious bedroom, gently laying her on the silk–covered bed.
Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at him with a mix of fear and vulnerability.
“Alex… I was poisoned,” she whispered, her voice shaky.
“I’ll die if I don’t…” She hesitated, her cheeks flushing. “If I don’t have sex with you.”
Tears welled in her eyes as she reached for the buttons of her blouse. “Please, help me.”
“What are you doing?” Alex asked, a mix of concern and confusion in his voice.
“Oh, right,” Jasmine said suddenly, as if remembering something.
Her expression shifted, and she reached toward Alex, starting to unbutton the top of his shirt.

“Miss Jasmine,” Alex said sharply, stepping back slightly, care to explain what you’re trying to do?”
“You have to sleep with me to cure me,” Jasmine said desperately.
Alex blinked, his confusion clear. “But you’re already cured”
“No, I’m not!” Jasmine insisted, her tone frantic.

“Chris Roland said he gave me an aphrodisiac poison. If I don’t… if I don’t have sex in a few minutes, my brain will explode! I’ll die! You have to help me!”
He gently took her hands, stopping her. “Miss Jasmine, listen to me. I’ve already neutralized the poison in your system.”
Her eyes widened in disbelief. “You… you have?”
He nodded reassuringly. “You only ingested a small amount. It wasn’t enough to cause lasting harm. I’ve taken care of it.”
She stared at him, processing his words. Relief began to wash over her face, but was quickly replaced by a hint of embarrassment. “Are you sure?”
“Positive,” he affirmed. “I’m a doctor, remember?”
She bit her lip, her gaze dropping momentarily.
Then, summoning a bit of courage, she looked back at him. ‘Well, maybe… just to be safe… we could-”
He gave a soft chuckle, shaking his head. “Jasmine, you’re already cured. You need rest, not… that.”
‘A woman is often braver in jest than a man is in earnest.‘
A faint blush colored her cheeks. “Right. Of course.”
She sighed, leaning back against the pillows. “I’m sorry. I just…. panicked.”
He smiled gently. “Understandable, given the circumstances.”
“I feel so foolish,” she murmured.
“Get some rest,” he replied softly.
As he turned to leave the room, she called after him. “Will you stay? Just until I fall asleep?”
He paused, then nodded. “Of course.”
He pulled up a chair beside the bed, and she closed her eyes comforted by his presence. A short while later as Jasmine already slept, the doorbell echoed through the mansion.
Alex moved out to check the security monitor and saw Kelly Kingston standing at the gate.
He remotely opened the gate, and moments later, Kelly stepped into the living room. She carried herself with a poised elegance, her features striking and her demeanor cool.
“Jasmine is upstairs, resting,” Alex informed her calmly.
Kelly, known as the cold beauty, carried herself with poise.
Her features were stunning, but her demeanor was icy and calculating.

She rarely spoke, and when she did, it was only when necessary.
